Location: Braehead Arena. Kings Inch Road, Renfrew.

Come join us for the second annual Kilt Skate.

The Braehead Clan play the Fife Flyers at 7 pm. There will be a public skate before the game.

For anyone wearing a kilt, the entrance fee for the public skate will be free. If you don’t have a kilt, bring along something tartan and receive £2 off the regular skating cost of £12 for adults, £8 for children and free for under 5s.

 We are linking with our pipers and our Gaelic musicians to provide a side programme off the ice.  We will also be playing our Twin Town showcase video with the wonderful poem created by our Makar Shaun Moore.

Location: Braehead Arena. Kings Inch Road, Renfrew.
